"What do you mean......" Nicole looked at His Majesty the Pope Corsica VI in front of her with a look of surprise in her eyes, and couldn't help but glance back at the Empress sitting behind her. 【】

Corsica VI smiled faintly, he gently held the staff in his hand, wearing a white spotless robe, although he was just standing there, he seemed to look at the two women in front of him with a kind of overlooking gaze, and said lightly: "You heard it right, on behalf of the Divine Cult of the Bright Empire, I wish Your Majesty the future Emperor of the Empire! I wish Her Majesty the Empress good health, and the future Emperor Your Majesty will be prosperous!"

Nicole exclaimed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, can I understand that the Divine Cult is willing to side with Her Majesty?"

Corsica VI smiled meaningfully, but he didn't speak, and said lightly: "The Divine Cult has never intervened in the power of the Empire, we are just a group of faithful believers in the gods, but if anyone wants to disobey the will of the gods, or subvert the authority of the Divine Cult in the world, then the Divine Cult will not sit idly by!"

Nicole took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, you mean, Prince Barang ......"-

Corsica VI, however, stopped talking, but nodded slightly to Her Majesty the Empress, and then turned away.

The queen's face was a little surprised, she looked at Nicole, and said in a low voice: "Miss Nicole, His Majesty the Pope, will you really support us?"

Nicole pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Pope's words, we can certainly believe it...... But you can't be unguarded against ......"

Looking at the queen's blank expression, Nicole sighed and whispered, "You should know about the Great 6 Divine Sect in the North......"

In the Great 6 of the North, the authority of the Cult of God is even above the kings of various countries! It is because the Great 6 of the Northern Roland 6 does not have a strong centralized power! And the Great 6 of Light, because there is a powerful empire, the imperial power and the Cult of God are almost neck and neck, and there is no situation where no one is stronger than the other.

"What do you mean?"

Nicole nodded and said in a deep voice, "Although the people of the Divine Cult keep saying that the temple of Roland 6 is a heretic, they actually have ...... in their hearts Hmph, I don't envy the power of the temple in the north! Now that the Imperial Power of the Bright Empire is fighting, the prestige of the Imperial Power has been reduced to a minimum-Is there a better time than now if the Divine Cult wants to expand their influence? Prince Balang is ambitious and a strong man, and if he succeeds to the throne, he will not be favored by the Divine Cult...... To tell you the truth, if your son succeeds to the throne, then a young child is much easier to manipulate after all!"

Prince Barang is in the Marquis of Caroline's mansion at this moment, and the old marquis's face is calm at the moment, and he said lightly; "Your Royal Highness, you must calm down now! Even if the Pope has met the Empress, it's nothing! The Divine Cult has never participated in the struggle for power in the empire, and even if they want to support it this time, there is no excuse! As long as you insist on the issue of inheritance, then His Majesty the Pope will not be able to mobilize the Flame Warrior Regiment to fight with us! Their support is just to take advantage of the opportunity...... Hum. ”

Prince Balang nodded: "It's a pity that Mr. Qiu's guy is now guarding the palace inch by inch, otherwise, just find a way to let the queen die, and all problems will be solved!"

Marquis Caroline smiled faintly: "Your Royal Highness, it's better not to do these things well! Use these means, after all, there are too many obvious, even if you succeed, if you spread it in the future, it will affect your image! Those aristocratic and wealthy families don't say it on their lips, they may not be heartfelt to you in their hearts! Do you want a complete empire? Or do you want a broken empire?" After a pause, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly said: "Your Royal Highness, there is one thing to do immediately!"

"What?"

The old marquis smiled slightly: "Among the medical officers of the court, there must be people from His Royal Highness, right? Although His Majesty the Emperor's health has always been not very good, but this time he suddenly fell into a coma, presumably ...... Hehe......"

Prince Balang's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "Lord Marquis, you don't have to be so secretive...... Once upon a time, now that we are standing together, there is no need to hide those things from you, the medical officer of the court, there is indeed one of my people, Abbasid XI, who has always been in poor health, because for the past two years he has eaten a little bit of what I have prepared for him every day!"

The muscles in the corners of the old marquis's eyes trembled slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "Then, this matter must be done immediately! That medical officer must be eliminated immediately! This matter must not leave any handle, otherwise, your succession will be very dangerous!"

Prince Balang frowned: "It's not difficult to get rid of it immediately...... Just get rid of that person, and we can't grasp the emperor's condition now...... After all, the medical officers around him are not easy to buy, and I have successfully arranged such a person over the years. ”

The old marquis had a mocking look in his eyes: "You don't have to worry so much...... Since you have been planning this matter for two years, there is no need for anyone to report what your majesty's health is doing now--you know best what the emperor is eating, do you still need to worry? We just need to wait for your majesty to ...... Then just do it!"

Prince Barang nodded.

The old marquis thought for a while, and then said: "Now the queen is definitely more anxious than us! What they are most anxious about now is that they hope to be able to determine the status of the crown prince immediately! And before the emperor dies! If the emperor dies and the position of the crown prince is still vacant, then you have an excuse to inherit the throne, so they will definitely make moves in the next few days, let's wait and deal with it!"

Before Prince Barang could speak, someone from outside came in to report.

"An order came from the palace to summon all the nobles and officials of the imperial capital to pay their respects in the Great Hall of Light!"

Prince Balang frowned: "What kind of ceremony, what kind of ceremony, the emperor is already lying in a faint death, how can he see it?"

The subordinate didn't speak, just stood there with his head bowed.

Marquis Carolin waved his hand and let him go down first, and then the old marquis smiled faintly: "That is naturally an order from Her Majesty the Empress in the name of the emperor! According to the practice of the empire, before the emperor dies, he naturally has to inform the ministers of his illness in order to prepare...... Although the news has come out in the past few days, there is no official announcement after all, this time I summoned everyone to go, I think, I am afraid that it will not work to announce Your Majesty...... Second, of course, it is to officially announce that the queen is pregnant with the prince, and to justifiably set the position of the crown prince first! Even if it can't be decided for a while, the matter must be put on the table! This is the idea of these two women......

"Hmph!" Prince Balang's eyes became gloomy: "Is it that easy? I will immediately send troops to surround the palace, no matter how powerful Mr. Langqiu is, he can't stop it alone, right?"

The old marquis's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "No! No matter what, His Majesty the Emperor is not dead! If the emperor is not dead, you immediately send troops to surround the palace, it will be a rebellion! Besides, if you can kill them all in one fell swoop, it will be enough, if you let them run out, run to the south or northwest, ascend to the heights, and gather local troops from all over the empire...... That's the all-out war of the Empire! I dare to ask you...... In terms of appeal to the army, will those troops follow you, Prince Barang, or will they follow the tulip banner?"

Prince Balang immediately stopped talking, and he naturally understood in his heart that in terms of the appeal of the army, he was far inferior to the Tulip family, which had served as the marshals of the empire! Even if two of the four legions of the empire were already in his hands, he would never dare to start a war head-on!

The empire still has hundreds of thousands of local garrisons in various provinces, and although the Northern Legion and the Central Cavalry Legion are now on their side, it is because the corps commander is his own man, but if there is a real war, it is difficult to say whether those armies will follow them and obey the orders of the corps commander!

Thinking of this, Prince Balang sighed, suddenly looked at the old marquis, smiled, and said, "Then according to what you said, will we go to the palace tomorrow?"

"Go!" The old marquis smiled lightly: "Of course we have to go! Actually, they want us not to go! In that way, if there is no objection in the main hall, the name of the child in the queen's womb can be justified! Tomorrow we will naturally go to an unborn baby, will those nobles trust him? Tomorrow we will put the contradictions on the table! See who those ministers and nobles are following! Therefore, your attitude must be tough tomorrow, even if you are a little arrogant, it doesn't matter! Tomorrow is the time to show your strength, let all aspects of the imperial capital understand your strength, and force them to choose which side to stand on!"

That night, on a certain street near the imperial palace in the imperial capital, by the moonlight, two figures, one large and one small, flashed from the side of the street.

"You guy, you first deceived my horse, and now you trick me into coming out at night and running after you...... What the hell are you up to?"

The other laughed under his breath: "Look at you, I can't help my curiosity again...... I said I had some interesting things to do when I came to the Imperial Capital...... It's also you yourself who heard me say something interesting, so you have to follow me...... Now I can't hold my breath again. ”

Tianlie snorted and said, "You guy is so strange, if it weren't for the fact that you are still a little interesting, you would have beaten you flat with one punch a long time ago!"

The man next to him shrugged his shoulders: "It's not difficult for you to flatten me...... You are a powerhouse in the realm, and there are probably not many people in this world who you can't beat...... But if you flatten my old man, you're afraid you won't be able to see that interesting thing!"

Tianlie looked like he was scratching his ears and cheeks, and scolded loudly: "Lao Tzu is convinced! You quickly do what you have to do! I really don't know if you are a human or a ghost, and it doesn't matter if you see that Lao Tzu is a strong man in the field, but if you open your mouth and close your mouth to 'domain', is it annoying? Is it that Lao Tzu has the word 'domain' written on his head? Hmph, even if you are not a strong man in the field, it is estimated that you are not much worse, right? Since entering the city, Lao Tzu has tested you several times, don't try to hide any strength in front of my Uncle Tianlie!"

The man grinned: "You are a friend of that kid, and it just so happens that I have a good relationship with that kid, if you really want to help that kid, just shut up for me!"

Tianlie rolled his eyes, but finally closed his mouth.

The street is not far from the palace, but the street feels very quiet - in the past, even at night, there are many soldiers from the police station.

But now that the army inspecting the imperial capital has all been replaced by the people of the Central Cavalry Legion, Prince Barang, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, ordered the army to try not to approach the palace as much as possible when patrolling, and the royal guards of the palace, under Nicole's order, have also shrunk into the palace to guard, trying not to take a step out of the palace to avoid unnecessary trouble-so that the streets around the palace have now become a delicate buffer zone.

"This is it!" the man smiled suddenly, pointed to a house in front of him, and jumped into the fence with his body. Tianlie scolded, but he didn't dare to stop at his feet, and his body followed and rushed in.

This house is not big, but it is not easy to decorate, and it seems that the status of the owner is not low...... What's more, living so close to the palace, it must be unusual for the owner's family.

Tianlie and the man had just taken two steps, and the other suddenly whispered, "Well, it's strange......"

Tianlie also nodded, frowned, and said, "Why is there a smell of blood?" He suddenly glanced at the person beside him, and said with a strange smile: "It won't be you bastard who set a trap to block Lao Tzu, right? If that's the case, Lao Tzu will screw your head off!"

The man gave him a blank look: "Shut up, you fat man, I really don't know what you have such a big head for." ”

The two of them swaggered into the courtyard like this, without the slightest intention of hiding their figures, according to Tianlie's words: "If someone notices, just kick it unconscious, Uncle Tianlie never does sneaky things!"

I opened a door with the smell of blood, and I immediately saw a corpse lying in front of me.

"Who is this?" Tianlie frowned, "Did you drag me around the city at night just to see this dead man?"

With a contemplative expression on his face, the man glanced back at Tianlie: "This person is a medical officer in the palace, alas...... I didn't expect it to be him...... It seems that my luck is really good, I found a random one, and I actually found the ghost house arranged by Prince Balang. ”

Tianlie shook his head: "What kind of inner ghost and outer ghost, what are you going to do?"

The man smiled slightly: "What am I going to do? Let me tell you, I want to sneak into the palace, I plan to find a medical officer who can get close to the emperor, and then enter by pretending to be his identity, this guy is the person I am looking for tonight, I didn't expect such a coincidence, I actually found him, looking at his appearance, it seems that he was killed not long ago, alas, don't you understand? Now the emperor was fine, and suddenly he was about to breathe, it must be Balang who let this guy do his hands and feet, this medical officer is also angry now, most likely it is Balang who kills people and kills people... ... Such a simple thing, my old man understood it in his head...... Your big head ......" Speaking of this, looking at Tianlie's annoyed expression, he finally stopped his mouth and changed his words: "Fatty, do you want to see me change something interesting to show you?"

Tianlie snorted coldly.

The man smiled slightly: "Let me tell you, the body I have now, I put it together a few days ago, and I always feel that it is not very suitable, because these bodies are all ...... Alas, but now this body is in good health, and it just happened that my old man borrowed it for use!"

Tianlie had a strange look in his eyes: "What did you say?...... your current body Not your own?"

The man smiled slightly, and a strange light suddenly appeared on his body, and then the clothes on his body gradually shattered, and then the muscles on it fell softly and piece......

Tianlie was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body, and immediately stood far away.

The man laughed continuously, and the muscles on his body gradually shook off, revealing a skeleton, but the bones were not the color of forest white like ordinary skeletons, but faintly shimmered with a metallic luster.

Tianlie couldn't help but mutter, "Hell, what kind of weird thing are you...... I've never seen you like this...... Such...... Such a breed!" He couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is alive......"

The skeleton was finally fully revealed, and then his jaw trembled twice, looking at the shattered body on the ground, a laugh came out of his mouth, and then he said: "Alas, after all, it took a lot of my old man's spiritual power to get the body, although it is a pity, but I have to give up...... After all, it's just a test piece. ”

The skeleton turned to face the stunned Tianlie, and a strange laugh came out of his mouth: "Fatty, what are you doing? What you are seeing now is the result of my old man's research for a long time! If it weren't for seeing the physical energy of that demon dragon in the south, I really can't think of this good way to get a body for myself!"

After saying that, the skeleton slammed towards the corpse of the palace medical officer lying on the ground, and then a strange light emanated from the entire skeleton, and the skeleton seemed to gradually turn transparent.

The skeleton slowly lay down against the corpse on the ground, and the whole skeleton seemed to be as transparent as air......

On a major road in the south, a mighty cavalry is rushing like a wind, and on a black horse in the lead, there is a young man with gold fluttering, his blue eyes flashing with anxious eyes, and countless heavily armed elite cavalry behind him, quickly following behind, everyone has a resolute expression, but there is a flash of excitement in his eyes!

The man on the horse was none other than Roddy, who had become Seth's appearance again.

While running, he couldn't help but gently stroke his face with one hand: "I really can't imagine that I will put on this mask again!"
